Nimble ...Yes, it sounds a bit tough in Scotland...<br /><br />Nimble and Isabelle, but that's the point, you do do other things; Nimble you also blog, read loads of books and write intelligently about them, make creative Halloween costumes, go skinny-dipping with pagans and baptists and stuff, Isabelle, you read loads and look after elders and sing in choirs and who knows what - I know your children are bigger now but I get the impression you've always done plenty of things. I am very impressed by so many people's lives.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-29189413806131788282010-12-06T23:16:01.724+01:002010-12-06T23:16:01.724+01:00By not doing anything else (to answer your questio...By not doing anything else (to answer your question).<br /><br />We're still deep in snow.

I love the quiet when the roads are full of snow and I don't have to go anywhere. Those of us with children and full time jobs just leave a lot of things undone or are very sleep deprived. Despite my untaxing job I am in the former group.Nimblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16426446791363667887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-28476946901287509862010-12-06T14:08:50.864+01:002010-12-06T14:08:50.864+01:00Send snow, send snow...Send snow, send snow...herhimnbrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01182397064631016552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-84281983113243383222010-12-06T11:51:06.510+01:002010-12-06T11:51:06.510+01:00Crikey, that is a lot of snow.
